Thought id decided against Mr Fox but now my samples have arrived and i can see it beside my curtains and cushions, I think i like it best! Please help! I think the other paper (as much as I love it), just looks too busy with the curtains/cushions.

What room is this for? Will the wallpaper be on every wall?

I think you might get fed up with Mr Fox though. Or should I say, I think I would. Could you maybe get him on a few cushions or something?

Difficult to tell with other wallpaper as it will be on such a big area compared to your curtains/cushions. It looks quite busy up close as per your picture. Not much help I realise.

I prefer the first one - the style of it just works better IMO with the tartan while the mr fox one is a bit more 'skandi cool' and would look better with chevron / stripe type fabrics alongside it

I don't think either of them work. I prefer the first one if I had to choose between them.

I love your materials but not keen on either of the papers but if that was the only choice I'd go for the first one.

Mr Fox doesn't go with the tartan nor does the shade of grey in both the wallpapers.

The fox one is only really suitable for a small space like a downstairs loo or a child's room.

The other one is far better.

I think the first one. I do like the second but it looks a little kids room-ish and also as pp said you may get fed up of it more quickly.

I like mr fox. Both nice, but to me the pattern on first one is too small. Almost looks like xmas wrapping paper.

I really like the first one. The fox print one is only really suitable for a child's room in my opinion.

Thanks for opinions folks.
It is for a living room. I don't mind that it looks childlike. I like foxes!
I just feel the other one is too busy against the curtains which is exactly where it would be. One wall, the window wall, other walls are painted a green/grey/beige colour similar to the background of Mr Fox. I know someone who has it in their dining room and i love it.
I like that paper atticus but only the squirel part, i have issues with birds Grin
I really thought I was sold on the stag/hare one (it also has lovely little hedgehogs and squirels on it) but just think it looks far too busy and yes as you said ijustwanna looks a bit like wrapping paper!
Will see what else i can find but tbh I am really liking the foxy!!

Love the first one and it goes perfect with the tartan.

I like the first one much better, both in itself and with the tartan.

Could you use Mr Fox to run around a downstair loo or similar?

I prefer the stag one. It's busier, but the scale of the pattern is completely different to the scale of the tartan, so it works.

Which is the curtains?

Because the colour tones are so similar, I don't think it causes any problems alongside the beige/grey tartan

Number one. I love foxes but I think number 2 looks like something for a nursery.

Olennas

I think Pears and Trees, and Paisley are both great

For me the cool grey tones of the fabric on the left go with both wallpapers, but none of the three go with the orangey red warm tones of the fabric on the right.

trees and pears in grey/white/silver is stunning

Yes. I think I agree

If I wanted a splash of brighter colour, I think I'd go for a plain
